Found this hunting in a park. Almost missed it. Got mixed readings that favored silver 6" deep. Dug my plug and pulled out a nail. I doubled checked and an inch lower was this 1880 Morgan dollar. You can imagine I was pretty shocked.

Congrats. Knowing the last hunter he probably dug the hole found the nail, put it back in the hole and reburried the nail. Nice thought to recheck the hole. I always double and tripple check my hole till nothing shows up in there and I put all my trash in another pocket, money in a seperate pocket. I dug a silve half dollar this week cause of a smashed can I may have missed it But rechecked the hole, bingo. HH
